Dear Thomas, This is a dificult one to answer. I hazard a guess without having a photograph of the set up to dowse from that the wires are acting as antennae for Extra Low Frequency [ELF] waves. Radionic devices can be as complicated as you like, or as simple as running a piece of wire, or writing a rate on a piece of paper with a witness of where the emanations are directed to. I would try to expand on this one but it is getting late in the night. if you would like to delve into this further drop me anoteon [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will see what I can sort out for you. Sincere regards James
